 Rh "Speak only to me of the days when ere long,
 * Proud Spain and his guards in transplendent array,

Shall environ our cause—when our chiefs shall be strong,
 * And no tribute or fealty to tyranny pay.

When France and his hosts shall horse the broad main.
 * And the Despot shall crumble—while nations in choir

Awake the glad heavens with liberty's strain,
 * And light up the churches of Sheela na Guire."
